An interview on Gamasutra talks with Tom Hall and Brenda Brathwaite of Loot Drop about their just-announcedKickstarter for an "old school RPG." They discuss their goal of melding traditional elements like character development and investment with modern elements like advanced graphics. There's also a discussion of how the pair will be developing two different parts of the same game world, which explains why one of the Kickstarter's stretch goals is two separate games. Here's a bit on that:

Brathwaite and Hall have conceived of the game as having two distinct worlds part of the same universe and the same timeline, where one of them is fundamentally Brathwaite's and the other's is Hall's, with a bridge connecting the two.

Hall's second world is viewed as something of a sequel if the game's stretch funding goals are met. But ultimately the pair will collaborate on all aspects of development, and in Hall, Brathwaite has the ideal complement to her RPG values.

Cool story, bro.

I have a question: Do you really, seriously think that I am either John Romero, Tom Hall or Brenda Brathwaite? I don't care if you're trolling, I'm actually just legit curious if you believe this.

I was accused of being Tom or Brenda, too. I guess anyone who supports this KS or defends them MUST BE THEM!!

We get more than our share of shills an other people who lie about who they are to promote their own interests around here. You create an account today to attack people who aren't down with this KS and your little pal chiming right in so wtf do you expect? I'm so going to have a good laugh when this KS fails - at you and your little buddy. U bros are mad, huh?

Haha!

You are right. I did register to respond to your baseless attacks (or actually outright ignorance) of the resume these guys have. Perhaps if you had turned it down a notch, I wouldn't have. But now, well, I have an account and will be using it
